PLAYED FOR YOU

 

Quiz Taxi

Get in, play and win

 

With the return of the show the game returns, too, in a new edition; again each player tries to be first to reach the finish with his Taxi, represented by a pretty wooden figure, and to earn a lot of many on the ways. The tracks are marked on the board with colored dots for each car. Start and finish are also clearly marked. Each track features 15 stops and you move forward by one stop, if you answered a question correctly. For a wrong answer you stay where you are. The die determines your questions and the degree of difficulty; questions #1 and #4 are always easy ones in light yellow, questions #2 and #5 are medium and dark yellow and questions #3 and #6 are the hard ones, marked in orange. The degree of difficulty determines the amount of many that you earn for a correct answer: 50€ for an easy, 100€ for a medium and 200€ for a hard question. If you reach the finish first, you receive a bonus of 500 € and finish the game, the richest player wins the game.

As variants the rules list the possibility to advance two positions for a correct answer for a fast game or to hand out more money for correct answers or to give you a free choice of the difficulty levels or allow you to use a joker to eliminate two wrong answers with a maximum use of two jokers.

As all Noris games this one is solidly made with standard and well-known quiz mechanisms; the questions are interesting and nicely mixed and the flair of the show has been nicely caught. A recommendable new edition for fans of show and quiz!
